20-month-old Kaarthikeya from Sungai Buloh, Selangor is recognized for being the youngest to speak expressive vocabulary (more than 300 words), and having the most number of expressive vocabulary in five minutes by a toddler, for which he identified 77 flashcards in the given time.

According to the standard development milestones by the Ministry of Health, an 18-month-old toddler should be able to speak between one and six meaningful words. That is a lot less than Kaarthikeya’s 300 words! Impressive!
